Re: [slim] Controller doesn't reconnect to network after sleep - Please post your issues

It is still connected to the network (Blue icon), but cant connect to SC. This is reproducible, just by accessing something that takes a long time for SC to respond.. for instance, if I browse by genre and choose Rock, or Alternative, there are so many albums (70,000 songs in my collection) that SC takes too long, and the controller seems to time out. Cant reconnect without switching the controller on and off, sometimes twice. In my case, adding an artist(who has about 70 songs) to the playlist makes the controller lose the connection to the SC. Hangleton;349683 Wrote: Also, when getting up in the morning, I usually find that the controller has lost contact and needs to be restarted. I leave music playing overnight, and the controller shows the track that was playing when it lost contact, and usually shows that the track is several hours long. I have seen this many times also. The connection is lost. But the last song played is shown as playing and the time has gone on for hours. -- catbb67 catbb67's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=19759 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=52702 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

How much RAM does the old laptop have. In the manual you can read this: 733 MHz CPU or faster 256 MB RAM 80 MB hard drive space One thing about underpowered hardware, if you try transcoding you could be i a wee spot, hint search forum for transcoding , native file formatsformats and so, web UI will also be sluggish ,hint use the remote or controller for daily use not WEb-UI. The Web UI on my old 700 MHz, 256 MB running SC on Win XP actually responds pretty quickly to my commmands. But my remote commands sometime take a long time or don't even translate into action at all although all connections are up. Took your seggestion and tried something faster. A 800MHz laptop 256 MB ram, plenty of HD space, on Ubuntu 8.04, connected via ethernet (I am trying to start from my slowest gear). It said SC was starting and I did not get any error message others got. But just to make sure SC is actually running, I gave it sometime to start before I put http://192.168.1.100:9000 on a browser to see if the server responded. After a long pause, it failed and the browser said it took too long for the server to respond and it timed out. Does it mean the server was actually running? If so, is this typical performance with this hardware spec although it meets the min requirement (BTW I don't have the need to transcode)? If it is typical, then I need to try out yet another laptop (Pen Mobile 1.8 GHz, 2 GB RAM, etc. in both WinXP and Ubuntu 8.04). Try not to re-task this laptop as I do most of my browsing on this laptop away from my desk. -- catbb67 catbb67's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=19759 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43198 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

I'm a new Duet owner. I run SC 7.2 of a old PII 700Hz laptop which although old, has been able to do a lot chores for me, running emule, torrent and some other media server app SIMULTANEOUSLY. Now I only run SqueezeCenter on it and connect it to router via ethernet. But the performance is horrible and the Duet is very non-responsive. Is the hardware to week to run SC? Music can play well for half-a-day and then it quit and I have to fiddle with it for hours before it would work again. Turns out it was trying to carry out my command but wasn't able to keep up. SC 7.2 feels so bloated that it runs so slow. Hope I don't have to dedicate my Centrino 1.8 GHz laptop to just run SC. This is a consumer product and it seems that Logitech/SD provided help is lacking. Product info and documentation is really lacking. I cannot imagine other electronics I have that I have to rely on user forum for info. and help. I'm in the end-user application development. I can't image how bad my users would scream if my product has so little official documentation and they have to rely on user forum. Logitech/SD - Please provide a more efficient version of SC that users can simply install relatively low power hardware and even NAS (e.g. Linkstation Live 500 I have always on that is capable of running PCast, supports UPnP and FTP and running other server apps). I already have a media computer connected to my theater. If I have to run a high power PC to run SC responsively, I might as well please my music from the PC directly. I had high hopes before I bought the Duet and I am getting quite frustrated. I just want my entertainment gear to run and don't want to spend time into hacking it. I would do that if I have to with my computers(Windows and Linux alike) but not a piece of consumer electronic with which my wife hopes to just fire up and enjoy music. -- catbb67 catbb67's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=19759 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43198 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

This is going to affect my ease of spending funds on future gears if I don't get this work out soon if you know what I mean.
